Today ,
I want to talk about the tradition that began a long time ago ,
according to the legend,
dedicated to Valentine who was a priest in the time of the Emperor Claudius ||.
Claudius had an opinion that single men are better soldiers than the ones with a family so he banned the marriages. Valentine with his kind heart refused to obey the order so he kept performing marriages in secret for young lovers,until he was discovered and executed. His death was a tragedy and consequently he become saint. Saint Valentine acted like a hero and that's why In his honor,
all over the world on 14.February gifts are exchanged between people who love each other.
During this time this holiday has become cliche , and there a lot of people who consider it as an excuse to buy expensive gifts and as a useless waste of money.
Furthermore there are also those who consider love should be celebrated everyday and not only one day in a year. But is it really unnecessary ? In the modern era when everyone is preoccupied with the professional achievements in insignificant details, is it so wrong to have a reminder about what really matters ?
We tend to forget whats really important in our lives and what keeps us going in hard time - the love.
Does the same rule apply for older people or does the magic of valentines day disappear during this time?
Everyday can be Valentine's day if we have the right person next to us.
Don't let the magic disappear.
Where did all our dreams go,do we tend to get used and satisfied with little throughout the time?
We should all embrace our inner child and don't let it get lost.
If you've been lucky enough to meet the love of your love don't let it fade.
You need to take care of a relationship.
Live every moment to the fullest.
The clock is spinning fast.
Personally,
I thought that I can make a card-design for my husband.
I wanted to buy him a wallet,
I wrote him a letter, every single reason i could think of, why I am so in love with him,
now is written on the pages. Probably he will buy red roses,because he knows that they are my favorite flowers. I will wear his favorite dress and lift my hear up, uncovering my neck because i know how much that excites him. It's a win/win plan.
The only difference is that we are a couple that does that at least 2 times a month. Those days are ours and we are very protective over them.
There is no work that can keep us from giving unselfishly attention on each other. He is only mine and I am all his.
Is it a cliche or is it a great opportunity to take a break from the chaotic life, appreciate and celebrate what we have?
Are we saying enough i love you ?
Why are we so addicted in our phone's, so dependent on chaos and problems? We need to stop. Look at your husband's eyes. He is tired , so are you. You both deserve gifts , you both deserve kisses before bed, red roses or dinner after a stressful day. I will tell my husband today how much i love him and how much he means to me.
I will show him how much i care and appreciate what he is doing for us right this second.
I want him to know that i am here for every part of our journey.
And that nothing else matters. I want to ask you, Do you love your husband every day or only 14.February?
I know it sounds cheesy,and it is seems easy to tell and hard to do.
One thing at a time. Start by doing one good deed in a daily basics. A simple good morning note,a good morning coffee.
Celebrate Valentine,
He was a hero for many couples and helped in building great loves. Honor him any time,every free moment you have and everywhere.
Celebrate yourself and celebrate your partner. It's a road of thorns that you both walk together. Attention is important not the gifts. And yes,
You are cliche if you think that you must buy him something,
You are cliche if you tell him you love him only that day guided by the atmosphere around you. If you are not his support all the time. Don't be cliche.
Remember both of you : In good or evil in sickness or health. I pronounce you for husband and wife.
